Description

DNA Sport examines various biological areas that impact training responsiveness and sporting performance. These include soft tissue and bone formation and remodelling; inflammation; oxidative stress; oxygenation influenced by blood flow and respiration; energy and fuel production; and metabolism during exercise. Knowledge of gene variations that influence these key biological areas can be used to exploit any genetic advantages and identify any weaknesses that need to be supported, through diet and the training strategies.

Clinical Value

Suitable for the recreational athlete and the elite performance athlete, it provides information to optimise:

• Power and endurance – physiological factors
• Structural integrity – tendon pathology and injury risk
• Recovery – training patterns and nutrition

The DNA Sport Test Report provides:

• The level of impact of any genetic variants identified
• An explanation of their impact on sport performance, injury and recovery risk
• Appropriate nutritional and lifestyle recommendations in relation to health and sports  performance, including power and endurance, athletic potential and key training principles, injury and recovery
